Mosley Tribes Sunglasses

Many years ago, a surfer kid betrayed the beach to found an enormously successful line of eyewear favored by people who own beaches. Now, the prodigal surfer has returned, with Mosley Tribes sunglasses.

Thrillist - Mosley Tribes SunglassesFrom the guy behind Oliver Peoples, MTs represent a flight from Wall-Street-types, back to the sun-seeking everyman whose idea of "mortgage-backed securities" is the ADT sign on his lawn. The Peoples pedigree's apparent in the materials, e.g., self-adjusting photochromic lenses, and acetate frames jazzed up with marble blends and vintage Italian tortoiseshell -- RIP Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, and Leonardo. Model-wise, the Paladino sports a classic eyeglass profile with meaty earpieces, the Enforcer's a slightly squared-off Aviator, while the oversized Sentinel looks like it should be worn at a futuristic gun range, where the weaponry's been updated (lasers), but the attitudes haven't (you hang in there, 2nd Amendment).

All the shades're available in a range of lens/frame color combos, and the Sentinel actually comes with interchangeable lenses, providing two shading options for your prodigal, 5am return to the options desk: "hungover", or "way, way more hungover".
